Mimosa, Silk Tree
Albizia julibrissin

Climate Resiliency 1 out of 5 stars

Soft, fern-like, green to blue-green leaves and fluffy, white to bright pink flowers. Does best with high summer heat, but needs acidic soils and adequate water to prosper. Must be staked and trained to become a good patio tree. Not good near pools because of the litter produced from leaves and flowers. No fall color.
